It’s fun to find money or your lost gift card under the
couch cushion, but Port Angeles police found something much
larger while investigating a burglary Monday morning.
Sequim police were tipped off that a man who broke into a
home with a crowbar on June 24 was hiding out in
a Port Angeles home. Officers found 25-year-old Clifford
Hanning tucked inside a storage compartment of a couch,
underneath the cushions.
Police say there was no immediate evidence the home’s
occupant knowingly hid Hanning inside the couch.
The Peninsula Daily News reports that Hanning
was arrested on investigation of residential burglary and
malicious mischief.
Police say nothing was stolen in the June 24 robbery.
